October Release The One ( Cont .)
Excerpt :
For years , Addie had tolerated her mother Clara ’ s matchmaking . Momma only wanted the best for her . In a family filled with happily-ever-afters , the best included a husband .
Every Thanksgiving , the entire family gathered to share their tales of romantic bliss . Addie was happy for them knowing her time would come just like it had for everyone else in the family . It had come all right , and she was still working through the pain . … Momma turned on the television . The opening strains of “ Loving You ” by Minnie Ripperton , played . With any luck it was just a commercial . A giant red heart filled the screen . Written across the heart in flowing script : The Love Doctor , Momma ’ s favorite show . “ Almost forgot about the marathon ,” Momma said . The opening credits dissolved . Dressed in a pale blue evening gown , a wannabe-actress or trying-to-be-model stood on a beach . In front of her knelt a tuxedoed man holding a single red rose , his declaration to the world that she was the one .
How could people watch this show ? They did the same thing every episode . As the music swelled , her trembling hands would take his offered rose and press it to her bosom . She ’ d fan her face to keep from crying . Overhead , doves would take flight , his signal to sweep her into his arms and seal their love with a kiss .
Except that wasn ’ t what happened .
